The mob also looted their goods before burning down their house after killing the three family members.
Governor Nasir El-Rufai expressed concern at the citizens’ violent actions and strongly condemned extrajudicial killings after receiving the reports.
He emphasized that when fighting criminal suspicions, only legal procedures should be used, as the harmful practice of self-help would only do more harm.
As a result, the Governor asked security authorities to conduct full investigations into the incident, and citizens were urged to maintain order.
He also warned against stereotyping and urged people to use the established agencies on a regular basis.
